I would love for instances focused on their own topics. mandra.xyz is all about science and exploration. The only reason we dont have a gaming focused instance is that we simply havent done it

My proposed solution to this issue is a way to group subscribed channels. Like if I sub to x number of Games communities I wish I could drop them all in a folder labeled Games so I could browse all of those posts in one spot.
UI would be like Communities -> Subscribed (All) -> "Individual" folder hierarchy containing w/e you want.

Oh man, it's going to be so much fun to have to group similar communities when there are hundreds of instances! ๐

The lemmy ui could add a way to group communities at the user level. Something like multi reddits.
Having just come from Reddit myself, I'm finding this really hard to wrap my head around. I initially jumped over and made a Kbin account and started looking around for ~~subreddits~~ "Magazines" to subscribe to. I found a few, then was surprised that I didn't see "Movie Suggestions", so I went ahead and created one thinking 'Okay, now it's around, I'll hold onto it for awhile and surely someone who used to moderate the old /r/moviesuggestions subreddit shows up, I can hand it off to someone as I have 0 knowledge or interest in doing any of that BS.
Eventually, I made a Lemmy account (here, I guess? I still have no idea what the fuck an "instance" is, or whatver this is...), and found that there already exists a Movie Suggestions ~~subreddit~~ "Community". So... are there like, 9000 Movie Suggestions ~~subreddits~~ whatevers for every instance/server of Lemmy and/or Kbin?
How in the fuck is that supposed to work, if everyone just creates their own thing?
I guess rather than just silently creating a community and waiting for anyone to come, you'd have to make a post putting a light on your community. Although if you don't have the moderators to run a community, that might be jumping the gun to early.
There's at least a community for highlighting/requesting new communities here on /c/[email protected]
(Okay I'm having some trouble figuring out how to link a community on jerboa)
